Here's a gem from the Muskat: Now that the Cubs have Fukudome, what will the team do to help break him into MLB? Can Lou speak with him? Is there any way the Cubs would sign So Taguchi to help Fukudome in the bigs? -- John K., Orland Park, Ill. Piniella said he spoke Spanish with Ichiro when they were together in Seattle. The Cubs do plan on providing an interpreter if needed, and will do whatever they can to make him comfortable in Chicago. I don't think adding another Japanese player is necessary. Spanish?
